FEATURES OF FALL COSTUMES.
The design as indicated by advance ln1'
portations and orders received by leading
houses are very sensible and practical. ORA
peries are long, but are confined to the 1ront
or sides of the skirt, the back is laid IN Triple
box plaits and hangs straight over MODE
rate tournure Some skirts are simply maze
full over a lining which is edged with a SILK
or velvet plating. The drapery Is eiIeceeu
by an irregular lifting of the skirt IN one or
two places and its fastening with ribbon, or
cord, or button.
Fine knife and ACCORDION. plating is hav-
ing great vogue in Paris; and sleeves,
panels, deep flouncings, vests, capes, tronts
and sides OF coat costumes and whole dresses
are made of the two combined, the folds
made as fine as possible. Sleeves are longer
for street dresses; and the full sleeves are, OF
course, less prevalent i'll wooden materials
than in cotton and soft silk. But many are
laid in straight or diagonal folds and there
is little disposition to return to the straight
coat sleeve.
Bodices are somewhat longer. and are
trimmed with crossed folds and point dressed
fronts, or if the bodice is double-breasted
the folds may be carried i'll a diagonal line
from the right shoulder to the left OF the
basque skirt; it's edge next the throat cut Ill
three straps, and in two lower down, near
the line of the waist. The straps repeated
upon the cuffs. also upon the habit back OF
the basque, and the whole finished with
small silver or silk buttons.
COMPETITIVE DRESS.
The announcement is made from Brus-
sells, in connection with the International
Exposition to be held there next year, that
prizes will be offered for superiority in a
dress of silk, trimmed with passementerie,
not to cost more than - francs $40. Also
for a cloak of wool, not to cost more than
25 francs (S5) and for a wooden costume,
combining warmth with light weight.
Prizes are also offered for the best speci
mems of imitation lace, an extraordinary
acknowledgement of their beauty and value
from Brussels, the home of the finest hand
made lace and which heretofore has not
acknowledged in the recent Antwerp or any
other national exhibition, the existence of
machine made laces.
A prize in which many will be interested,
is one for fixing the colors of anime dyes.
These dyes are now used largely for artificial
flowers, but their value, due to softness,
variety and availability, is greatly deterio-
rated by their shifting and evanescent
character JENNY JUNE.

Wednesday, where he had been for forty
days. When he reached his home, on Col

o'clock the woman came up, hanging upon
the arm of man. Dolphus sprang out,
asking:

One Effect of the Long Dry Spoil
From the Geneseo (IN.l Nens.

from me 6eHeSeo (iH.) NetCS,
On Wednesday night of last week most
remarkable celestial disturbance took place
in that part of the celestial empire over
arching Geneseo. In the first place there
were fltful flashes, as of prairie-fre with
the blindstaggers, accompanied with a
rumbling sound, somewhat resembling the
violent rolling of a hogshead of turnips over
q backyard full of sheet-iron. Along about
midnight water began TO fall from lot of
smoke, evidently made by the prairie-ire
with the blindstaggers. This water was
seen by numbers of our most respectable
people, who happened TO be lodging the
police through our most public midnight
thOroughfares The water was in drops
about the size of Boston baked beans There
is no doubt about it coming from above,
Some of our oldest inhabitants assert that
they can recall phenomena of this kind as
happening in their carly childhood They
say II was known in those early times as
"rain." Webster's dictionary describes rain
as moisture falling from the clouds in
drops.n The smoky appearance overhead
then must have been clouds. But the noise
and the flashes are still a mystery.

Religion Without Reverence.

The free and-easy way in which some preachers and
professed Christians handle sacred matters and drag
the veil from spiritual mysteries. would probably
shock the devout Mohammedan Those who have
gone into the prohibition movement with the most
enthusiasm to be the most free-aud-easy. They
are not content to walk with God in the manner of
old Enoch, but they pat Him the back in friendly
way. At a Prohibition meeting at Cooper Union the
other evening Col. Cheeves, of Kentucky. made the
startling announcement that God is running the
Prohibition party But he doubt encouraged
to do this by the prayer of prominent preacher the
Rev. DR.. Deems. in which it said: ''Oh Lord, we
believe that time Down with the saloon,
thou sayest Amen in heaven" Another speaker
announced that the Lord was in this fight to crush

meaning the Republican party. Another speaker,
also preacher represented the Lord as bull
when he said: when the Lord says 'Wheai' you'd
better whoa" The Rev Sam Small wound up with a
shocking remark. which appears in Prohibition
paper among his gems namely IF ran hell would
nail this notice the front doors TT liquor dealers

These things recall the pulpit statement of New
